I just flashed my N800 with the beta OS2008 firmware and actually paid attention to the messages that the flasher spat out.

It said:

Found device RX-34, hardware revision 1301

and interestingly before that it said:

Image 'xloader', size 9088 bytes
Valid for RX-34: 1301, 1302, 1501, 1502, 1503, 1504, 1601, 1602
Version 1.1.6-51

Does this mean there are 8 different hardware revisions for the N800 and I have the first? Anyone know what the differences are?

What do other people get?

Interesting! I'll look for that when I finally upgrade. It'll be interesting to see how many types there are out there! BTW Simon, is your unit (1301) made in Korea or made in Finland? Maybe we could make a table of the results (if it turns out there are many revisions out there)

Mine's made in Finland. You can also see your hardware revision information on the bottom lefthand side (there are 3 fields, it's the middle one) when you reboot with R&D mode enabled (to avoid people needing to reflash to find out).

Found an easy way:
Code:
cat /proc/component_version
Mine shows:
Code:
product     RX-34
hw-build    1301
nolo        1.1.6

you can see it also via cat /proc/component_version in osso-xterm
I have 1301 too. This is a joy of being early adopter or developer. I wonder if they fixed the erratic touchscreen behaviour (now heavily filtered in kernel) in later HW revisions of N800.

Same here. I wonder if the other hardwares are the step 4 and step 5 of the tablet series. May be they are seeing if the hardware is backward compatible!!!

I thought that, but as it says "Valid for RX-34" at the front:

Valid for RX-34: 1301, 1302, 1501, 1502, 1503, 1504, 1601, 1602
it sort of implies that these are all hardware revisions of the RX-34 (which is an N800).

May be it is the n800 hardware with different add ons like the wimax chip for example??

I've got my N800 about a week ago and it also shows '1301'.
